Learning to write is like climbing a mountain. Each lesson learned is a new ledge on that mountain and gives you a new view. That would seem to be a good thing, and it is. However, you now know your previous writing is not up to your new ledge. This has led me to review… excuse me… edit what I’ve already written. This has turned into an ongoing endeavor.
An architect friend of mine once told me he keeps a closet full of rolled up designs he hasn’t finished. He just knows he could improve the design. I have heard writers talk of this as well. Next lesson… how do you know when it is done?
I’m the new kid on the block in writing. My opinions carry little weight unless being listened to by those who are in the beginning stages of writing. My one piece of advice is to keep at it. Persistence pays off.
